    Whatever. LOL

    Perhaps they can line up against you first. Then when they don't like that beating, I can line up against them.

    I'm pretty sure motor for motor I can still easily beat a GTO. At least, I've beaten every GTO so far.

Mike you going? looks like it coud be a fun race for me and you looking at our times.. If not I am game for getting killed by the 10 second 300C

    Hey now at least be fare and share the rest of the quote...
    yeah, a 275 shot!! holy crap. Should make for a fun time.

    I am just saying that is one huge shot of NOS, don't know many people running that!

    I am shooting for 12.6 this year, last year was a 12.95, who is close to my times that wants to race (just for fun).

    Just trying to "goat" you into driving up to the BuckeyeGoats track rental at Quaker City Raceway in Salem, Ohio on May 18th. LOL

    http://buckeyegoats.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3492

    ChargerForums is always in on our rentals so you wouldn't be the lone Mopar...I think there are 4 coming.

    Besides if you drive up you can run the 3 fastest GTOs in Ohio. Fastest turbo, fastest supercharged and fastest NA (me).

    Now that I have some drag radials, hopefully I can finally reach the mid to low 11's.

    I saw your post on the tri-state rules, it's pretty casual there on test and tune days. They may or may not let you go witout a helmet, they are definitely not the kick you off track type of people though. If they say something, just borrow someone's. If I end up going I'll give you a run, should be close.

    it was posted on here, you replied to the quote, and both quotes didn't come through when I replied to yours. Sorry for the confusion.

    EricG look me up when you get there, I will have the orange gto with stock 18's on the front and chrome 17s with DR on the back. Haven't had a chance to run it since I put the headers, exhaust, and tune!

    This is coming up this weekend, GTO owners say there could be anywhere from 10 to 20 cars there.

    There is rain in the forecast as of now though...

    Still definitely a chance for rain Saturday, I may go to the track and wait it out and try to get a few runs in. DA will be above 1000.

    Well it rained early but the afternoon stayed dry for racing. It wasn't a great showing, but I made it over and there and was the only SRT against what must have been about 8 GTOs in various states of tune/build...some 5.7 and some 6.0s.

    The density altitude was about 1100, we were racing into a headwind and the track was not hooking up very well...all excuses aside now...I beat them all except one!

    My first three runs were 13.0 - 12.9 - 13.2, then 13.0 - 13.0 - 13.0, then 12.8 - 12.8 - 12.9 with trap speeds all day at 108-109. My mods are AFE2 CAI, 185 t-stat, Diablo with CMR tune.

    Bradz24 was laying down 12.6 at about 113, the fastest out of all of us.

    Good time had, the GTO guys are way cool, the SRT8 represented well!
